Michael's Beautiful Christening Day

Michael Giovanni's Christening Day

May 22, 2010

Our beautiful little boy was christened at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC by Father Chris. The christening was perfect! Father Chris spoke for a while on the importance of baptism and Ralph and my role as parents, christians and how we are expected to raise Michael. It was very powerful. It seemed Michael was listening so intently, he was watching Father Chris walk back and forth and was as quiet as a mouse...except when he was baptized with the water...he screamed his little heart out! After the christening, we all headed back home for a great party!
